My teacher told me that "A Christmas Carol" is full of allegories. I've looked 'allegory' up in the dictionary, but I can't understand what it means. Can someone help?

"Poetry has been regarded as something central to each man's existence, something having unique value to the fully realized life, something that he is better off for having and spiritually impoverished without" What "fully realized life" is supposed to mean here. Thanks a lot

my poem doesn't make much sense but do u still like it?
My Selves

We’ll forget in time
the true deception
of appearance
when silver light dangled
under a secret sky.
Footprints of my former self
washed away
reflections of myself,
known only to myself.
Will I wake some morning
with the daylight of trust
filling til I feel fulfilled
with no mountains
mothering me in their breasts?
In a dream,
I’d awaken with poetry
pouring out of my pores
and never ask for more.
In this reality,
the rain of truth
makes my face cold
and a thousand lovers
cannot warm me.
I trace the difference
between trust and truth.
From the unborn pink sky,
sun slips away
into my eyes.
Misleading weather
turns to deliver tears,
mourning moments
murdered by caution.
For conscious thought cannot
coexist with emotion.
Only the strongest strands
strung together
stay to become our strength.

Ok, I am currently writing a story about vampires for my language class. Pretty much, the dude vampire bites the girl human, she becomes a vampire and blah, blah, blah (other stuff too complex to explain in great detail), They end up falling in love, and I don't know where/how to end it. I have a feeling someone should die or betray someone. I dunno. (also- this is not at all inspired by the book twilight. At all. I didn't read that till the story was mostly done.). Please, serious suggestions only. No making fun of the story (it is much better in story form) and no stupid type ideas. Thanks for the help and leave your name if you want me to credit you on the final copy that I turn in to my language teacher.

I've read all of Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, V for Vendetta, and John Ostrander's The Kent's. Loved them! I'm looking for more graphic novels that are as deep, socially relevant, and thought provoking. Ones that tackle controversial topics. Any suggestions?

I am writing a story for my language class. It involves vampires and I came up with a name for the girl but I cannot, for the life of me, come up with a decent name for a male vampire. It needs to be old-fashioned but attractive. Thanks for any help you can give me.
